SYNOPSISwildmidi [-behlvwn] [-c config-file] [-d audiodev] [-m volume-level]
[-o wav-file] midifile ...
DESCRIPTION
This is a demonstration program to show the capabilities of libWild‐
Midi.
midifile is processed by libWildMidi and the resulting audio is output
by the player.
You can have more than one midifile on the command line and wildmidi
will pass them to libWildMidi for processing, one after the other. You
can also use wildcards, for example: wildmidi *.mid
OPTIONS-b | --reverb
Turns on an 8 point reverb engine that adds depth to the final
mix.
-c config-file | --config config-file
Uses the configuration file stated by config-file instead of
/usr/local/share/wildmidi/wildmidi.cfg
-d audiodev | --device=audiodev
Send the audio to audiodev instead of the default. ALSA defaults
to the system "default" while OSS defaults to "/dev/dsp". Other
environments do not support this option.
-e | --enhanced
Switches to a gauss based resampling algorithm which can improve
the shape of the sound.
-h | --help
Displays command line options
-l | --log_vol
Some MIDI files have been recorded on hardware that uses a vol‐
ume curve, making them sound really badly mixed on other MIDI
devices. Use this option to use volume curves.
-m volume-level | --mastervol=volume-level
Set the overall volume level to volume-level. The minimum is 0
and the maximum is 127, with the default being 100.
-o wav-file | --wavout=wav-file
Records the audio in wav format to wav-file.
-r sndrate | --rate=sndrate
Set the audio output rate to sndrate. The default rate is 32072.
-w | --wholetempo
Round down tempo to whole number
-n | --roundtempo
Round tempo to nearest whole number
-v | --version
Display version and copyright information
TEST OPTIONS
These options are not designed for general use. Instead these options
are designed to make it easier to listen to specific sound samples.
Note: These options are not displayed by -h | --help
-k N | --test_bank=N
Set the test bank to N. Range is 0 to 127.
-p N | --test_patch=N
Set the test patch to N. Range is 0 to 127.
-t | --test_midi
Plays the built in test midi which plays all 127 notes.
USER INTERFACE
The player accepts limited user input that allows some interaction
while playing midi files.
+ Turns the master volume up.
- Turns the master volume down.
e Turns enhanced resampling on and off.
l Turns volume curves on and off.
r Turns the final mix reverb on and off.
n Play the next midi on the command line.
p Pause the playback. Note: since the audio is buffered it will
stop when the audio buffer is empty.
. Seek forward 1 second. Note: Clears active midi events and will
only play midi events from after the new position.
, Seek backwards 1 second. Note: Clears active midi events and
will only play midi events from after the new position.
